A photo of Tottenham Hotspur's striking sensation Harry Kane has emerged from when he played as a youngster for north London rivals Arsenal.

The 21-year-old, who has scored 17 goals in all competitions for Spurs this season, was on the Gunners' books as an seven-year-old after impressing scouts when playing for his local side Ridgeway Rovers.

But Arsenal opted against keeping Kane, releasing him after just a year at the club, and he has since gone on to prove the doubters wrong, starring for Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs side.

WHERE ARE THE REST NOW?

Now an image of the youngster has circulated on social media, with him lining up for an Arsenal squad photo at a youth summer tournament in July 2001.

Kane, along with the likes of Benik Afobe, Chuks Aneke, Nico Yennaris and Jamie Lawrence, all featured for the Under-8 side at the Watford International Festival at Parmiter's School.

Arsenal were the first club to take Kane in when he and now Brentford full back Yennaris were spotted at the age of seven playing for Ridgeway Rovers, a junior club in Chingford, London, famed for producing the likes of David Beckham and Andros Townsend.

But after failing to make the cut, the 21-year-old returned to his local side before eventually signing for Arsenal's arch rivals Tottenham in July 2009.

After various loan spells further down the football pyramid with the likes of Leyton Orient, Millwall and Norwich City, before a brief spell at Leicester City in the 2012-13 season, six years on Kane has finally made the grade in the Premier League and is on the verge of a call-up to the England squad.
